Updated with H501:
some Lux readings Lux@0,4m (@1m the low levels are to low for right results because the floody beam)

H50 8/45/240
H501 17/85/460
H30 22/130/720
H60 8/20 / 105/380 / 900/1520

the H50 is floodyer with 120 degrees, the H30 and 60 identical with 80 degrees (manufacturer)

with your Eyes, the High with 110 lumen (not Turbo) is the same how the H30 on max.
In Turbo Mode with 190 lumen it is visible brighter, but goes hot after some minutes.
the "Turbo Mode" has no memory, if you go on "High", you have 110 lumen, and you must double click to get 190 lumen, but this is good in my opinion, because the Turbo Mode is only for extrem brightness for short times and the most, the High with 110 lumen is enough...

+
nice machining, finish, anodyzing, nice color
simply but easy to understand and using UI
long runtime, good regulated very usefull

-
a little bit heavy (if you are running and shake your head) but no problem for slow walking etc...
LED not good centred (look at the photo)
the same how with the H30, the silikone holder are a bit to big (the holes for holding the light) so the light can rotate easily if you are running etc...--you know what I mean?? my english is very bad...

others: (how I wrot, "a bit heavy...")
H60 - 35g - absolutly light wight for this size:twothumbs
18650 - 47g!!!
complete 82 gramm,
for comparison, my new lightmania "Sgt Burkett",
a small 18650 twisty light is 108 gramm!!!
without batterie 60g

Twisty 60g
H60 35g!!


greetings from germany,
Jens

I see them fine

Works like a charm for me. Have you tried pressing ctrl+F5? Works sometimes when the browser's acting weird.

Nice pictures! I am surprised how much bigger the H60 is. To be expected - but still good to see it.

(And obviously I can see the pictures).

Nice review, Ichoderso. Thank-you for doing this.

And, your English is MUCH better than my German.

Thank-you......................Frank

Thank you for pictures, mine is on the way

Excellent review! You answered all my questions, especially about comparing it to the H30's beam profile (my current Zebralight, which I'm VERY happy with!), and how heavy it feels on your head. Great job, thanks, and plus one to Frank's quote below!

And, your English is MUCH better than my German.

The LED of my H60 is perfecly centered. I can imagine it doesnt really make a visible difference with the floody beam though...

 

[primox1]

Thanks for the first impressions and pictures :thumbsup:

Is it recommended by Zebralight that the light should not be run at MAX (190) for no more than a few minutes?

Do you like this light more or your H30?

 

[Shorty66]

Zebralight didn't lose a word about that. There is now warning on the packaging and their website doen't say so either.
Its not that dramtaic at all i think. Yes, the light is getting warm on high but its far from "Hot". Its just warm to your hand, nothing you would get pain from.

 

[ichoderso]

I am happy to have both

I think, if I go one hour to a night walk, the H30 is bright enough and the runtime too.
But if I am not sure, how long the the trip goes, and how much brightness I need, I'm very happy to have all the reserves from the H60...

It's all right, but after around 30 minutes on high (110 lumen, not Turbo at190) the temerature on the body is arount 50 degrees (roomtemp. aprox 23deg) The LiIon Batterie temp is around48 degrees. This temp had the light on turbo after only 5 minutes and it will goes higher, I think over 60 degrees.....
I dont know, if the driver had an overheat protection, but I think, its better for a long life for the LED and the batterie, if you don't run the light on turbo for a long time....
and I must say: if you see on the lux readings and lumens 110:190, you think, there is a big difference, but visible from your eyes, the difference is not so much....
